[UHURA] 25ish -African American. Brilliant, beautiful, heroic and FUN!, Uhura is almost tom-boyish – as if she grew up in a houseful of brothers.

[SULU] 25-32 -Asian American male (preferably Japanese). Helmsman on the Enterprise. Extremely fit, capable and dedicated. A bit of a wildcat

[MONTGOMERY(SCOTTY) SCOTT] -28-32 a brilliant ship’s engineer. Must be able to do a flawless Scottish accent!

Mr. Sulu is “a bit of a wildcat”? Is that what they’re calling it these days?

And who will play the lissome, flame-haired, barely-legal Beverly Crusher? (Yeah, I may have my chronology off on that a bit, but still.) And it looks like Chekov is actually Russian this time. Tough gig — I mean, good God, man, you know where this is going…

p.s. somebody somewhere suggested Firefly’s Nathan Fillion as Kirk: an idea so obviously right and true that you know it’s never gonna happen.
